经典英文诗歌赏析：Aftermath

; v3 @  _# g- o$ [' W, x: L　　I learnt to write to you in happier days,
　　And every letter was a piece I chipped
　　From off my heart, a fragment newly clipped
* Y1 z8 E- L/ Z( C　　From the mosaic of life; its blues and grays,
　　Its throbbing reds, I gave to earn your praise.
　　To make a pavement for your feet I stripped
　　My soul for you to walk upon, and slipped
　　Beneath your steps to soften all your ways.
- u# ^! c9 B/ I8 r" S  V　　But now my letters are like blossoms pale
　　We strew upon a grave with hopeless tears.
　　I ask no recompense, I shall not fail
　　Although you do not heed; the long, sad years
: _9 M" W+ O' T! q- F) w　　Still pass, and still I scatter flowers frail,
7 S$ l+ ~7 T: r$ l+ t　　And whisper words of love which no one hears.
